Swedish Pain Research

The Pain Research Department is part of the Clinical Research Division of Swedish and works in association with the Swedish Pain and Headache Center. The Pain Research Department provides support and assistance - such as clinical coordination, data management and regulatory support - to all Swedish-affiliated investigators conducting pain and side-effect research.

Our philosophy is to ensure that Swedish continues to offer the best possible care by pursuing new innovations in pain management and making investigational pain therapies available to patients."

The Pain Department physicians employ an experienced research staff to assist in the management of research studies. We have conducted studies sponsored by the federal government (National Institutes of Health), as well as pharmaceutical and device companies regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.

  • We are currently conducting a study for patients with pain in the feet or legs due to diabetic neuropathy.  For more information, contact the study coordinator listed in the Contact Information section.
